What can I do to reduce the size of my central incisors?

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q.
Hi, My central incisors are rather large compared to my other teeth, I saw on the internet that the average size of the crownisabout 6mm and mine are well over 10mm. When I was younger I had a brace to bring down my canine teeth, this brace re-aligned my teeth nicely, however my central teeth still look(ed) large in comparison to the others. I have always been really consious about my smile and would love to have a smile that I am comfortable with. So, I was wondering what action I could take to reduce the size of my central incisors and a rough estimate of how much this would cost. Thanks in advance.

How long would it take my teeth to grow down after having my white fillings

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q.
Hi Julian, I have a couple of points that I need some help on. 1) One of my bottom inscisors has grown inwards and has little room. My dentist has recommended removing it – however I am concerned about the symmetry in my lower mouth and fear losing a biting tooth. What are you views on this? 2) I have ground my teeth down over a number of years – about 3-4mm according to my dentist. He has recommended building them up with white filling and then letting my back teeth grow down over time? I’m a little concerned about the strength of this method and how long it would take for my teeth to grow down following this. I am a 37 male if this helps. Any thoughts are much appreciated. Rgds
